First introduced at 2008 Paris Motor Show, this powerful hybrid power sport car equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system through its batteries which permit recovered energy to be stored in 600 lithium-ion cells divided into 10 battery packs.

HY latest technology enables a proportion of the kinetic energy produced under braking to be either recovered or stored, while this energy is usually dissipated in the form of heat via the brakes in a non-hybrid car.

Michel Barge (Peugeot Sport, Director) said “This hybrid 908 HDi FAP is in perfect keeping with the overall mission of our endurance racing programme which covers not only the challenge of competing, of course, but also the fact that as a car manufacturer we can use motor sport as a research and development tool for the Peugeot brand as a whole.”
